Exposure and Color Tips
Getting the right lighting in your shots can be challenging.
These tips provide suggestions for various conditions.
If you are taking pictures in bright
sunlight:
◗ Reduce the exposure setting.
◗ Use a fast shutter speed or smaller
aperture setting.
◗ Use an optional filter with the camera’s included lens
adapter to cut down on excessive light.
If the sky is cloudy:
◗ Increase the exposure setting.
◗ Try using fixed white balance.
◗ Increase the sensitivity.
◗ If there is complete cloud cover, avoid taking landscape
photos. Portraits and closer shots are better choices
under cloudy conditions.
If you are capturing a sunset or sunrise:
◗ Use the fixed white balance setting.
◗ Adjust exposure settings for different
effects.
◗ Take several shots at different times to capture the
changing colors. (To do this automatically, set up
interval shooting as described in Chapter 3.)
If you are taking pictures in low light or
at night:
◗ Increase the sensitivity setting.
◗ Increase the exposure setting.
◗ Use a wide aperture or slow shutter speed setting to let
in more light.
◗ If your subject is in the shade with a sunny background,
try using spot metering and focusing the camera on your
subject.
